I blame Kristin and TeaEqualsBliss – because I saw them both review and decided to jump in the fray.

I blame Steepster for my oversteeping of tea, so much to read I forgot about the tea steeping under my nose! the 3 minutes became 20 since the application didn’t beep.

NOTE: The Tea Forte iPodTouch application will STOP when the screen saver kicks in and hence STOP counting and then doesn’t beep. I believe this is a failure of the iTouch itself to not be able to mutli-task and auto suspending everything when it locks up. To help with this issue in the future I changed my auto lock to 5 minutes instead of 1.

For all I butchered the preparation of this tea it is refreshing and nice. I don’t taste the mango though. The peppermint ginger is really interesting and fresh.

Preparation

The Teavana iPodtouch/iPhone app doesn’t stop and does sound an alarm…if it’s the iPod Touch with built in speaker (anything other than the first model brought out 2.5-3 years ago). I use the Teavana app on my phone and the timer lets you use pre sets or set your own times.

For a specific tea timer,e.g., teaforte, are there only times for their teas? are there general/popular teas that teaforte doesn’t have loose but are provided steeping times or is it specific to teaforte teas only?

Bio

I am The Devotea USA. I love caffeine! I prefer tea to coffee. I prefer my flavors to be in your face, not subtle. I plan to use this blog to keep track of the teas I have tried.

I get my daily dose of caffeine from Starbucks (Grande soy no water chai latte).
